Analysis / action

 * expand the context of the deed and Te Rauparaha and Te Rangiatea's reasons for being there and for resisting arrest and for the killing.

Analysis / action

 * The Wairau Affray could be better contextualized with a bit of a Māori context too. EG this bit is weird: "There was a prize for him, however, with his purchase on 13 December of the Wairau Valley in the north of the South Island. Wakefield bought the land for £100 from the widow of whaling Captain John Blenkinsopp, who had claimed to have earlier bought it off Ngāti Toa chief Te Rauparaha." - verify the reference - was the deed bought from the widow? was that Te Rongo?

Analysis / action

 * Explain / illustrate the connection with Ngāti Toa eg. intermarriages and alliances in the 1830s (including Te Rongo and her untimely death)
